had risked her life to save him! She
staggered to the bed and fell across it,
face ~downwards, scorching tears gather
ing slowly in her wido OPEN, unseeing
eyes. She did not hear the door open,
nor the quick footsteps that sounded in
the room.
''Kum out yer!'' cried a voice,
roughly. II amt n goin' ter git tn bet
ter o yc unbeknownst. I'm willin' ter
fight ye far an squar', an let tn best

The words reached her, but she did not
grasp their meaning. The long strain had
brought its inevitable reaction. and she
had succumbed at last.

A sudden familiar sound recalled Sal
Enderby to a dim sort of consciousness.
1t was "A sound that she had learned TO
know well during her life in that lawless
~region-the click of a revolver, cooked
for action. Some faint, natural instinct
of self preservation impels her to open her
lips, but no word issues from them.
Twice she essayed to speak, and both
times vainly. Then she shut her lips
again, resignedly. Sweetheart. Sweet
heart! That cruel word was the only
II she had not forgotten. She was dead
to fear, to shame, to everything but the
sore agony in her heart.
There was a flash, a sudden, sharp re-
port, a keen, singing sensation in her
left side, piercing through to the beauti-
full white breast! The next moment the
light of a lantern flashed full in her face,
and, lying back, faint unto death, with
something warm and dark trucking
through her gown and staining the white
counterpart, she saw the face of Red
Ranch Bill, drawn, ghastly, horror
stricken, above her,
"Sall'' he cried. "Oh, my Godl my
God. Sal!'
The despair in his voice recalled her
from the lethargy into which she was fast
sinking.
Its all right, Bil-ye didn't mean it, -
she said, softly. sit don't-hurt half ez
much-ez eft hid be'n-himl"
Her eyes closed, her lips paled. Bill
sank on his knees, burying his face in
her frosty, draggled skirt. Suddenly,
with a last effort, she raised herself in the
bed and held out the velvet framed pict-
ure.
Keep it'll Darcy Breene-sends
fur it," she gasped. Don't take on,
Bill. m-glad- ter die his -

Then her lips parted, her eyes glazed,
her head fell forward, and the tragedy Of
Ranch Village was played to its end

of the present fiscal year. but in hat FOL

Mr.. BEEcuER's oft-expressed desire
to be buried among flowers has been car
ried out to the letter. No more dazzling
display of nature l~oveliest emblems has
ever been seen in Brooklyn than that
which draped his bier. One of the finest
tributes which America could pay to the
memory of its greatest and most human
of dlvines would be to abolish Grape from
funeral observances, TO replace the old
fashioned habiliments of grief with sim
pie flowers Funerals have ever been too
costly affairs, the wearing of heavy
mourning too heavy a task upon the poor.
Now is the time to remember Beechcr
and to adopt his sensible and kindly ideas
upon this sad yet inevitable mystery OF

A SEIF-MADE MAN.

The Qualities Which Have Brought John
Sherman to His Present Prominence
Toledo orrespondenee Cleveland Leader.
There are emphasized qualities in this political
leader. We see capablity. thrift, temperance,
ana finally self-government The lesson of this
mans life is a. model for the young. Great
honor has come by virtue of all these character
istics combined with application and pride. A
proud spirit has kept many natural drunkaro
out of the gutter and has developed frienciess
boys into great and good men.
Sherman has carved his own destiny, and mas
grown rich and renowned. He struggled IN ms
youth. and now he celebrates victory IN his old
age. There were eleven children in the Sher-
family-eleven orphan children-bnt tho
mother plodded as only mother can. and be-
hold the result! One a great statesmen one
great general, another learned judge. and all
useful citizens John was cast in a heroic mold.
He took up law and opened an Office at Mans
field. Did he seat himself hard -bottomed
chair and mentally determine to be satisfied the
first year if he earned his expensess No, IN
deed. What then? Why he flung his sign over
the street and recorded the declaration
that he would not only earn iveli-
in bank. And did he do it2 Yes,
verify. Not only $500. but ST.. 900 was the sum
put away each year during his young manhood.
Ia little while he the need of sash and
door factory. and up it went By this stroke he
cleared $50. 900 in six years. and at the age OF
thirty-one he went to Congress. He has held
big offices ever since and in payment for his
services TO the government he has drawn almost
If not quite 5000 0o0 And yet he was a poor
boy without cash enough even to 60 to college.
Five times elected TO the Senate of the United
States and now leading candidate for ths
presidency However. sad indeed must be his
heart, for when he dies son or daughter can
bear his name bask in the sunshine of his
wealth. Thus it is that some men have all chill
dren and no cash. while others have all cash and
no children Here is paradox for philosophers
and fnanciers to cogitate upon.
